Paul Eagle Star toured Belgium, Germany and England with the show but died in Sheffield Infirmary before it arrived in Glasgow in the autumn of 1891:

The following Indians were probably with the show when it arrived in Glasgow in the autumn of 1891:
Bluffing Bear; Bring(s) Yellow Horse(s); Bull Stands Behind; Eagle Louse; Fog; Good Eagle (Brul� POW); Hard to Hit (Brul� POW); Long Bull; Nelson, Jim; Red Onion
High Bear and Two Elk did not arrive in Europe with the others but were both probably in Glasgow.
The following Indians may have been with the show when it arrived in Glasgow in the autumn of 1891 but on
balance probably weren�t (their return to the United States is unknown):
Jack Russell; Falls Off; Leaf; Two Women (female)
The following four Indians toured the theatres of England and Wales with
Viola Clemmons�s White Lily Company from August 1891 but almost
certainly returned to the United States without sojourning in Glasgow:
Bad Boy; Dion, Lewis; Rockman, Amos; White Star
The following Indians toured the theatres of England and Wales with Viola Clemmons�s White Lily Company
from August 1891 and probably came to Glasgow when the show closed at Northampton on 2nd January 1892:
Little Boy (a.k.a. Wounded Knee); Plenty Wounds; Wolf Ears
These last seven were separate arrivals in August 1891 and were brought over specifically for the White Lily theatrical tour. To their number must be added mixed-blood interpreters Philip Romero (who was certainly present in Glasgow for some time at least) and Chas Provost (who may have come to Glasgow); as well as Boy, who may have come to Glasgow (the return to the United States of these last two is uncertain); and also Black Heart and his wife Calls the Name, who initially toured with the main body of the Wild West but were seconded to the White Lily. They too were probably present in Glasgow from early January 1892.
